not at all.. is a personal preference, you worked all your life in that industry and you want a change, I can relate to that.

whoops i replied the missed all the activity here, haven't read all the replies, but i'm behind you fiver.
unless you're working for a very well established "action sport" company and making a very comfortable wage (unlikely) it can be a very tuff grind.
but i suppose the grass is always greener.

the grass is always greener for sure. i just can't picture myself doing this for an extended amount of time and making a comfortable living that i require in my waning age. more sophistication please.

mb use your industry contacts and try freelancing for a few different companies. mix it up. at very least a new logo and brand name to work with. broaden the folio, get the word out that your freelance and some more corporate projects may come your way.
i'm sure you already know malakye.com

Getting pigeonholed is a real problem. In a perfect world, hiring managers would be a lot more open minded.......

you should be able to adapt to any style of design. I've worked for old lady soap, high fashion lingerie, athletic, extreme sports and outdoor companies.

@fooler, honestly these 4 years spent inhouse for a kitesurf brand have influenced me a lot. I feel much more comfortable working on sport projects and anyway regarding my portfolio, companies how sometime hire me are only asking for extreme sport things.
